SONG PLAYLIST: bit.ly/4bx4UfK ONE WEEK LEFT ! the sun is setting a bit earlier so we will start riding as close to 6pm as possible Duckworth Summer Wednesdays, a collaboration between Human Access Project, Lloyd EcoDistrict, and BikeLoudPDX, combines live mixing, lifeguarded swimming, lounging, people watching, and sunset viewing. We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Bring your floaties and fins and goggles and smiles For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!
